How long does a Group 27 Battery last (1999 Coleman Utah)Thu, 17 Aug 2017 01:25:44 +0000http://www.popupportal.com/threads/how-long-does-a-group-27-battery-last-1999-coleman-utah.114280/

The only thing I envision using the most and the most critical would be the water pump kicking on every once and awhile. Afterwards the LED lights inside the camper (about 6).

I guess my question is a fully charged group 27 marine (750 MCA) battery. How long theoretically would it last in this situation.

These guys have a LOT of money in their rig between the batteries, solar, chargers, inverter, etc. Not something you want to try on a PUP, unless you want an entire bed of batteries.]]>28Pennsylvania State Forest Boondocking New For 2016Tue, 02 May 2017 00:33:24 +0000http://www.popupportal.com/threads/pennsylvania-state-forest-boondocking-new-for-2016.108722/

How much gas should I estimate to need for this trip? We won't be too far from town to go buy more when needed, but I just wanted to get an estimate of how many gallons...

Okay, I thought, if I had to spend the $25 for the membership, I'm going to at least take advantage of the free night's stay.

So I started looking at their website for campgrounds. Some of them look really nice. I've never stayed at a private campground but what the heck? It's...

http://www.popupportal.com/threads/propane-no-battery.102211/invalid@example.com (jwdogman@yahoo.com)jwdogman@yahoo.comI recently bought a 98 Palomino Pony. It is in mint condition(was kept in a garage winter and summer!) except for the battery. I am considering ditching the battery idea because I already have a Goal Zero Solar setup to power lights,charge phone,charge laptop,charge camera battery,power fan,etc. I can run the fridge on propane. My alternative would be to add a second 20lb propane tank or upgrade to a 30lb tank, to cook with and possibly run a Buddy Heater on, if I ever decide to...

My E2 is a great camper but I must say that after using it these past few months (a lot of Camp Driveway), the only true feature it has over its blacktop traveling brethren is the road clearance.

All the outlets are 120v with the exception of the two 12v ceiling outlets for bunkend fans/lights. Not even a 12v power port (cigarette lighter type).

Now this is not just my E2, every manufacturer who make a...

As I understand it, the stock furnace uses gobs of propane and gobs of power. I've seen mention of catalytic heaters which are highly efficient in their use of LP, but only offer radiant heat (supplement with a small fan?)....
